Bardshar ChutneyNamed after the family who gave the recipe to Patsy, this is a long-cooked chutney, dark red with a nice, jam-like texture. The ingredients are not so very different from what you might read on other labels: cider vinegar, sugar, peaches, apples, onions, celery, green pepper, garlic, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, spices. But the exact recipe is quite nice. It sits in an interesting space between sweet and savory chutneys, and as such is versatile to accompany just about anything. It has dark, sophisticated flavors as well as a perky fruitiness. Use it on burgers of any kind, in chicken or turkey salad, on sandwiches, in hors d’oeuvres, with venison, on pasta, even on ice cream. Try it with cheese. Check out the recipes on the website.

Sweet Smooth Hot MustardThe name says it all, almost. This sweet and spicy mustard has a touch of sugar and an original creaminess from the unique addition of butter. Your sandwiches will love you, as will vegetables, pretzels or sausages. Cook with it when making rack of lamb, filet of beef, pork medallions or grilled salmon. You may even find yourself eating it from the jar with a spoon, it’s that good.

How, you ask, can a mustard be that good? We looked at the label: 42 calories a tablespoon. That’s how.

The ladies at School House Kitchen teach a good lesson, though: Create products that make the grade, and enjoy them.
